Divorces, the Cause and Cure.

Rev. David Willis, an eminent Pres
yterian divine, of this city, In preach
ing on the subject of divorce the other
day took for his text: wv hat there
fore God has ioiDed together, let no
man put asunder.' In referring to the
divorce courts of Philadelphia and CHI
cago, he made the astounding an
nonncement that in the former $50 d.
vorces had been granted in 1885, and in
the latter, for the same period, 60O, ana
IN the whole country the average OF di-
vorces was six per cent. OF the mar
riages. In searching for cause Tor
this unhappy state of affairs tho learned
divine said the principal cause was
mercenary matches, loose Legislation
and indiscretion in words, DEEDS, de-
pertinent and dress. he SAID, ~ wire
or daughter may be arrayed IN all the
eorgpousness of Oriental grandeur.
Her costume may be OF the finest SILKS
and satins, studded with diamonds ana
pearls her form may be falrer than
that of Venus de Medici and her speech
gemmed with all the wit and wisdom
of sage philosophers, but without DIS
erection and vestal virtue all her charms
are scattered like broken wrecks upon
an angry ocean, The cure be SAID was
"a pure and abiding love-a love tilat
sweetens the pleasures and softens the
sorrows of conjugal life. True love
once born never dies. 1t weeps tears
over the graves of degraded husbands
ana dissipated sons" was asked 10,

be discerned. | will answer IN the
words of great Greek philosopher, ;
First, by burning bushes when both
parties are present, Second, by the acli-
ing heart when they are absent; fol
lowed by indigestion and melancholy,
and third and last by the cold sweat
When YOU get the cold sweat 1t Is dan
gerous to delay. 1t is the proper time
TO become united in the bonds OF matrl-
mony. If any of my young trends

hasty and inconsiderate marriages and
said, "What the country needs are
30. 900 old fashioned wives and mothers
who can rebuKe these hordes OF silly
women who believe their chief sphere
is outside and not inside the house
hold" We congratulate the reverend
gentleman in having assumed such an
,mpregnahle position on the subject or
divorce, its cause and cure. Inc
subject is one that must soon demand
the attention of our purest and most
able philanthropists.

What True Merit Will Do.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within few years, has
astonished the world. 1t is without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and effectual
cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest
LING Troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, as it
does not dry up cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the
contrary removes the cause of the
trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in purely healthy condi-
ton. A bottle kept in the house for
use when these diseases make their APP
pearaBce, will save doctors bills and a
long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price rs
cents, large bottles.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND ON a
SECOND TERM AND THE
LAND QUESTION.
TimcS-Denl C|at.

| WASHINGTON, April J.-lhe New
| York Heraid's Washington correspon-
| dent reports an interview with Presl-
dent Cleveland, in which the President
responding to a .IocuIar reference to the
anxiety of certain politicians lest his
health should not permit him to en-
dure II second term, said: That is all
| in the air, and | have nothing to dc
with it. My time is taken up fully
with my present duties, and | propose
to do my work in such IL way that my
successor, whoever he may be, VIII
have nothing to undo. 1t will be the
business of the party to name their
best man-that is, the man who can
best carry out Democratic principles
and politics, and the man who can best
protect and defend the rights of the
people,
In reference to the land question the
following interview between the
Herald correspondent and the Presi-
dent took place:
said to the President, says the cor
respondent: "Mr. Cleveland, there
seems to be good deal of interest in
this land question just now"
"Yes,n was his quick answer, land
very properly, think: 1t is one of the
live questions of the day, and certainly
one of the most important"
"The railroad corporations appear to
be somewhat greedy" | suggested.
"Well,D he said, "a railroad corpora
ton should have it's legal rights-no
more, no less. But the people should
have their rights also. When real
settler-I don't mean mere land
speculator, but farmer who builds bis
little house and sets about the improve
ment of the acres on which he has
settled, when such man has legally
taken possession of his 100 acres, he
ought to feel that the government is be-
hind him. He has a right to feel that
way, and so far as this administration
is concerned it is clearly the friend OF
the people.
"While, as a matter of course, the
administration will protect the lawful
rights of corporation, as well as
those of the people, still | think il
should be specially jealous of the rights
of the farmers and working classes.
will 60 even further than that, and say
| that it by any construction OF the law
a SEEMING injustice is done to the hum
blest farmer in the furthest corner OF
the land, then the law ought to be
changed at once. | am of the people
| [ believe in the people, and stand by
them and with them, first, last, and al

A loquacions little fellow who resides
in this city rather unceremoniously re-
moved the veil from the secrecy that
surrounds the missives OF st. Valentine.
The young gentleman who is credited
with a regard for that little fellows
sister, and whose regard is not unreci-
procated, called the other evening, and,
meeting the little boy, very naturally
inquired:
g Johnny, did you get valentine?"

There are periods in the lifetime OF

more valuable than precious stones or

your words so came. A friend is q

is, not because of its embroidered wrap.

Permit me, then, to thank you again,
for your words of praise and cheer; for
when you said I could be relied on tor

of tears to my eyes, and then a re-re-
